SSC CPO - 11 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q171

Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?

131, 1179, 1171, ?, 8191

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 8197.

Given series: 131, 1179, 1171, ?, 8191

The series follows this pattern:

131 × 9 = 1179

1179 - 8 = 1171

1171 × 7 = 8197

8197 - 6 = 8191

So, the missing term in the series is 8197.
